Of Resisting The Lawful Magistrate Under Color Of Religion is a book written by Henry Hammond in 1647. The book explores the topic of religious resistance to authority, particularly in the context of the English Civil War.

He also discusses the importance of maintaining civil order and the dangers of allowing religious zealotry to undermine the rule of law. The book is a significant work in the history of political and religious thought, and provides valuable insights into the debates and controversies of the seventeenth century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
